Likelihood of success and positive impacts <br />. Multiple resource benefits <br />. Opportunities for collaboration with other agencies <br /> <br />The concept of developing retention basins in the lower watershed is an idea worth <br />exploring, especially if year round flow of the river is not achievable. The development <br />of basins could serve as effective sources for groundwater recharge. Several studies <br />will need to be performed to explore this concept further such as groundwater elevations <br />and seasonal variations, groundwater flow and velocity, permeability of the soil profile, <br />water rights, location analysis, relationship between the river streamflow and the aquifer. <br /> <br />V. Difficulties Encountered <br /> <br />There were no serious difficulties encountered during this project. <br /> <br />VI. Deliverables <br /> <br />There are 4 main deliverables associated with this project: <br /> <br />1. EPA Final Report <br />2. Research Report <br />3. Appendix to the Research Report <br />4. Project Quality Assurance Plan (Attachment 14 in Appendix) <br /> <br />There were over 100 reference collected and reviewed for this report. Not all references <br />collected and reviewed during the project were used for this report. Copies of all <br />references collected for this report was provided to the local sponsors for future use. <br /> <br />VI. Evaluation of Project <br /> <br />The project was well received by the local watershed community and the local Alamosa <br />River Foundation. A presentation of the report approach and results was provided to the <br />public at the Valle del Sol Community Center. The topic of discussion was to discuss <br />watershed issues concerning the following: <br /> <br />. Purpose of the Project <br />. Resources and Chemicals of Concern <br />. Watershed Challenges <br />. Recommendations <br />. Question and Answer <br /> <br />VI. Conclusions and Recommendations <br /> <br />The following section summarizes the main recommendations for this project. More <br />detailed recommendations and a~:)essment discussion is provided in the Research <br />Document. <br /> <br />II <br />
